Diversity & Equality Survey

Collecting and monitoring equality and diversity data about our supporters is essential to understand more about our fanbase and ensure that the services that we provide are appropriate and relevant.

By completing our survey we will be able to fully understand where and how we can address under-representation and ensure that we provide opportunities for all of our local communities to get involved with the Football Club.

Please note that this survey should only be completed if you are aged 18 and over.
